Improve perf of Enumerable.Order{Descending} for primitives (#76733)

* Improve perf of Enumerable.Order{Descending} for primitives

For non-floating point primitive types, stable sorts are indistinguishable from unstable sorts.  They could be distinguishable if there are custom keys associated with each item, but Order{Descending} doesn't have separate keys from the elements themselves.  As such, we can avoid all of the overhead associated with the int[] map Order{Descending}By creates as part of implementing the stable sort, avoid always specifying a comparer, etc.  This PR does so for Order{Descending}(comparer) followed by ToArray, ToList, and foreach/GetEnumerator.

* Don't try to optimize custom comparers
